Only 3 days to go and it's been pretty busy around here at Farmhouse. This morning was kid's baking day. I got this snowman cake pan years ago from Williams-Sonoma and have never used it. Every year we say we are and then the season comes and goes...and Frosty is still sitting in the pantry. So this year we made a point of it. I made the cake yesterday..thank you to my new best friend, Mr. Duncan Hines.... I think if I would have made the recipe on the Frosty The Snowman box we could have stood the cake upright like the picture. That recipe seems like it would make a dense gingerbread-like cake. But time was running short..so we did the best we could....and the cake is pretty fragile..so we just left it flat in the pan...but the whole idea was to let the little ones do the decorating. We had all kinds of frostings, sprinkles, gumdrops, candies, jelly beans, coconut, sanding sugars...so we just let the fun begin..and we had a ball. And Frosty turned out pretty good....
Merry Christmas to Frosty from my snowman! Great minds think alike! It has been good to get to know you as well Kary. Hope Buddy is OK! Merry Christmas to you, Buddy and your family! xxoo Nancy
Have a WONDERFUL Christmas! All my posts are "scheduled" for the next three days. We will be traveling to see family. I'll try to get in a few bloggin' moments. If not, I'll catch up this weekend on all the posts I missed!

Everything that comes out of your kitchen looks gorgeous and delicious ! Thankyou for sharing all the warmth . Have a lovely Christmas Day all of you and we wish you a happy and healthy New Year .
Oh your cake came out so cute! What a fun project to do with children! I love the mouse in the stocking! I just bought a "Dickens" styled mouse at a crafts fair this year and he has a top hat and a rusted jingle bell hanging from the tip of his tail!
the night will never stay, the night will still go by, though with a million stars you pin it to the sky; though you bind it with the blowing wind, and buckle it with the moon, the night will slip away like sorrow or a tune.
